diesel fumes whilst driving

Recommended Posts

Got a 1.8 tdci 2007 with 15000 mls getting a horrible smell of diesel fumes nearly all the time,also when i give it some welly i get quite a lot of black smoke out back.I seem to get the smell with windows up or down air con on or off it doesnt really make a difference.Would a faulty egr valve cause these problems?

It was serviced in feb when i got it from a ford dealers.If it had a proper service or just an oil change i dont know.Only done a few thousand miles since mainly daily commute but it has had some good runs on motorways and a good thrash now and again.

Thankyou for the welcome

a faulty egr valve would cause black smoke but would not expect it on a 2007 car, you could check to see if any of the high pressure fuel rail joints are leaking causing diesel to drip onto the engine.best bet get back to fords and use the warrenty
